Breastfeeding - what do I need to know?

[Jennifer13]

I have the Glamourmum breastfeeding singlets and they were worth whatever they cost the lovely friend who bought them for me (so if anyone asks what you need...!). I wore them winter and summer, underneath long-sleeved shirts in the winter time when they weren't warm enough. They were supportive, comfortable and they lasted. I still have them now and they're in good condition for another bfing bub one day! My DD bf until nearly four, I wore these for the first couple of years a lot.

Thanks so much for the replies and tips!

I did buy a couple of the Target b/f tops and have found them to be pretty useless when it comes to support but I figure they'll be good for bedtime!?!?!

Shades / Kate07 - I'm off to K-mart tomorrow to try on those b/f tops. I've looked at them a couple of times and wondered if they were any good.

Roryrory - I've borrowed that book from a girlfriend and have read it twice already! I'm planning on packing it in my hossy bag as well!

I didn't have formula in the house last time until we needed it (10:30pm at night, me in tears, nipples cracked and bleeding) and hubby went to get some. There is ALWAYS a chemist open somewhere to buy some in the middle of the night!

Fingers crossed this bub is born without a tongue tie and my milk comes in earlier than day 4/5. Seeing as I've been leaking for about 3 weeks I *think* we're on the right track!?!?!

Thanks again for answering my question. This place really is a godsend!!!
